Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Thanks. Used all I had to make it. So, last night when marrying the top to the legs, my 5yo granddaughter was there in the floor with me. She asked if she could help, and, believe it or not, on her own, started the bolts and used the hex wrench to run them in. I just had to tighten them. She already knows righty-tighty-lefty-loosey lol.

 

They are teaching important life skills in kindergarten!

 

I got a bunch.

 

Guy just brought this by and ask if I could weld it and turn it back down. I said it’ll be easier to just get a new piece.

It’s 2.1875” and the worn down part is 1.123”

 

I let her use my torch the other night to bend a latch mechanism I am working on. Suffice to say she will be prepared for life in a bit different way than her peers.

 

Wow! Would love to make a work bench for my shop out of it but it’s too expensive.

 

Plus or minus 1" is a bit out of tolerance...

 

Bring this inside and drench it in ipa and Nasa might pay you 40k for it and call it cleanroom ready...

 

Anybody ever have to deal with a Copal tree? My parents had one behind their shop and dad fought it for years, may still be there.

I have one behind my shop and I cut it down to the ground, drilled three 3/4" holes in it and poured straight roundup in it. Hopefully that'll kill it.

I've heard that pounding copper nails into will help kill it but have never tested it myself

 

It don't work. Tried it on a box elder tree when I was a kid. It just laughed at me. Still growing as I left out on my own.

 

I never had long hair keeping short hair clean was more then enough work.

I knew some who would put it in a tight braid and stuff it down the back of the shirt to much work.

 

But they taste so good!

Nothing like iron sights on the 22Long Rifle to sharpen your marksmenship.

 

This was a fun job, they are tired of taking this massive thing out for us to replace thread inserts so we drilled and tapped it for a block so when the M16 threads mess up we can just replace the block


It goes on an extruder for making yarn, the holes are tiny and they'll be four total on it.

 

Should have thought of this long ago!

Paying work is always good.

 

I'm not OCD about much but this is irritating.

 

It gets better Checking with my known good tire pressure gauge .

I have found these fancy systems can be off as much as 5 pounds in either direction from the tire pressure to the display.

I guess close enough for those that can no longer read a tire gauge.
